Demartek Becomes a SNIA Emerald Recognized Tester

September 2014

Demartek announces that it is the first test lab to become an official SNIA Emerald™ Recognized Tester.
Demartek has demonstrated proficiency with the SNIA Emerald test procedure, and Demartek’s processes and
expertise in this area have been audited by SNIA.

The SNIA Emerald program provides storage system power usage and efficiency information to the public, as
part of the Green Storage Initiative. SNIA Emerald defines a very specific test procedure to provide
performance/watt and capacity/watt results for storage systems, known as the
SNIA Emerald™ Power
Efficiency Measurement Specification. This SNIA Emerald specification is used for the EPA ENERGY
STAR Data Center Storage program.

Storage product vendors can be assured that Demartek has the knowledge, experience and equipment to properly run
the SNIA Emerald power efficiency tests and the EPA ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage tests. Demartek has also
automated the process for collecting and reporting the test results into the SNIA Emerald Test Data Report format.
